Chapter 1083 Divorce (7)
"Tell me the truth,” Rose's expression was serious, and her voice lacked the usual gentleness.
Leah locked at her obviously angry mommy, pouted her mouth, turned her big eyes and coquettishly grabbed her mommy's hand and shook it gently."Mommy, I'll tell you everything. Don't be angry anymore, okay?"
"You are the most beautiful mommy in the world. If you get angry easily, wrinkles will appear on your face and you won't look good!"
As Leah played cute, Rose's tense face softened slightly.
"Speak up. If I find out that you're hiding something from me again, be careful or I'l spank your butt.”
"No! I won't dare to hide anything from Mommy again."
The little one playfully stuck out her tongue and said in a soft voice, "Daddy Ingram came over just to help punish the scumbag. I've known aboutthese things for a long time but I think Daddy Ingram did nothing wrong, so I teamed up with him."
"And about passing the levels, that was something I knew early on too. Approaching that scumbag was intentionally making trouble for him.""Mommy, we all know how badly he treats you, so we want to help!"
After saying this, Leah took a step forward and hugged her mommy's thigh lightly while looking up at her mommy with an expectant gaze."Mommy, we just want to help vent your anger by punishing him for his wrongdoing.”
"When Mommy isn't angry anymore, she can make up with Daddy.’
The little one didn't say what she had in mind but there was clearly hope in her eyes.
Rose touched the scattered hair on top of the little one's head with complicated emotions in her eyes.
They did all this for her but actually none of it needed to be done at all. She couldn't go back to Elliot anymore; their relationship had already reachedits end point.
Now she just wanted to divorce Elliot and leave here with her children so they could live well together in future days ahead.
Her thoughts were racing. When Leah hadn't heard any response from her mommy for quite some time nown she tentatively spoke up again callingout, "Mommy?"
Rose snapped back into reality as a smile tugged at the corners of her mouth as she tenderly advised, "Leah, don't act impulsively like this anymore,okay? Before doing anything always tell Mommy beforehand, alright?"
"Okay."Leah obediently nodded like a well-behaved baby girl would do.
After the mother and daughter finished their conversation, they returned to the office just in time to witness Elliot and Lawrence's unsuccessfulnegotiation. Leah didn't sense anything wrong with the atmosphere and happily asked, "Godfather, are you done? Can we go eat something deliciousnow?"
"Of course.” Lawrence replied warmly with a slight smile on his lips.
Elliot furrowed his eyebrows upon hearing this. He wasn't pleased that they were all going out to eat together. Frustrated, he said with a stern face."I'l come along."
Leah tilted her head and glanced at her father. She immediately understood that he was jealous. This was good because it would motivate him tovalue her mother more. Maybe this way. her wish could come true earlier than expected
Half an hour later, the four of them arrived at the restaurant where Lawrence politely pulled out Rose's chair for her saying softly, "Rose, please sitdown."
Rose smiled back at him saying thank you while Elliot watched them closely, feeling more upset by the second
As soon as they sat down together around one, a waiter holding menus asked respectfully, “What would you like?"Lawrence turned towards Rose sitting across from him and asked gently, "Rose, I ordered according to your usual taste?""OK." she replied sweetly.
Leah also raised her hand, excitedly adding, "Daddy Ingram, me too!"
"No problem,” Lawrence responded warmly before turning towards the waiter standing nearby and telling him what Rose and Leah liked eating mostoften.

But in the next second, Lawrence suddenly spoke up from across from her, "Rose has been raising her child alone for years now; it hasn't beeneasy.”
"She's always running around trying to give her child a better life."Elliot's eyes grew darker as he looked at Lawrence's increasingly cold expression."Thank you for taking care of my wife these past few years; I won't let her suffer anymore in the future.”
The little one saw this domineering side of Elliot and thought, ‘Daddy is sc handsome! If only Daddy had acted smartly earlier, Mommy might havereconciled with him already!”
She was happy about this turn of events but Lawrence seemed uneasy about something. He pursed his lips before saying. "It's okay; Rose and I aregood friends.”
Lawrence finished speaking, then picked up the water jug on the table to pour another glass for Leah."You need to drink water every day so that you will become more beautiful,” said Lawrence."Mm-hmm," nodded Leah, satisfied that Lawrence was helping her own parents to reconcile.
